In today’s show David will discuss Thandie Newton’s TED Talk and how our beliefs that are formed and how we can embrace ‘otherness’ and ‘oneness’ to explore, grow and change and to be our best and live life to its fullest.

Thandie and David will discuss:

Our ‘oneness’ vs. ‘separateness’

How the ‘self’ that we design, becomes the vehicle through which we experience the world

How the ‘self’ and our belief that is designed by others is not our vehicle and not our truth, but is something that we can and should change in order to find a ‘self’ that fits

How the ‘otherness’ and the desire to be a part of something affects our mind as we want to fit in

How dance and acting gave Thandie insight and the deep insight into other lives and emotions

How we never enter into our authentic self when we act out to win the approval of others

How ‘race’ simply comes from our desire to create difference

How ‘oneness’ becomes possible through awareness and how critical that is to find our purpose and live life at it’s fullest

How the lack of ‘self’ is how we find our truest self, authenticity, and purpose
